McCAULL OPERA COMPANY.
Today the sale of seats for the perfor-
mances Of ''The Black Hussar" and "Falka"
by McCaulPs Opera Company at Portland
Theatre, next Monday and Tuesday, will
begin at Portland Theatre. The New York
Tribune says Of the "Black Hussar:" "The
operetta is the most admirable work of its
kind that has been seen here since the adj
vent of "The Merry War" In respect of
its literary side, indeed, it greatly eclipses
Strauss written comedy. Much more than
the ordinary amount of originality marks its
character, and nearly all the situations are
novel. 1t has story which is neatly devel-
oped, and which differs from the general run
OF operetta stories, in being composed of re-
spectacle comedy elements, Instead of resting
solely upon vulgar farce. The opera was
costumed beautifully as it treats of the
times OF 1872, and the scene passes on the
borders OF Russia, while the French occupy
the land adjacent There is good deal of
opportunity for military costuming, and
strains Of the hymn of the White Tsar min
gle constantly with those of the Marsellaise.
But the effect on the whole is very pleas
ing"
NOTES.
The next important musical event. instru-
mentally, will be the Boston Symphony Or
chestra concert, next Wednesday evening.

Miss Mary K. O'Bri0n of Portland gave
pianoforte recital. The programme included
selections for the piano by Handel, Haydn,
Guiss, Hcnselt Schumann, Whiting, Chopin
and Chopin-Liszt. Miss 0'Brion's PLAYING
was accorded hearty appreciation by the
audience. 1t was firm, true and sympathetic
throughout and manifested fine Intelligence
of the numbers presented. The Schumann
and the Chopin numbers in particular were
admirably rendered with much force and
touch that was very effective.
